If you have your own website, and an OpenID provider (you do if you have a Google account), you can use your domain as an OpenID uri by adding two lines to the
<head>
section of your homepage. For example:
<link rel="openid2.provider" href="https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud?source=profiles" >
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://www.google.com/profiles/<username>" >
I find that it's much easier to remember my own domain than https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id

- loup-vaillant 16y agoCool. Except that completely misses the original point: do not centralize what you can avoid to. And do not trust a third party when you can avoid it.
- runevault 16y agoYes but the upside to his method is you still have final control, as if you don't like one OID provider anymore you just change the redirect and it all keeps working exactly the same way.
